Quick Ways to Refresh Your Hairstyle

You don't have to get a pixie cut to be in style this season. Follow these 10 expert tips to easily transition your hairstyle

Hairstyle Tip 1: Try bangs This fall is all about bangs. Chunky, side-swept, wispy, or blunt; all types of bangs are perfect for this season. "Most of the fall we tend to put our hair in a pony or bun. Having real bangs allows you to put your hair back and still have something going on," says Ess.

Had a bad bang experience in the past? Ess says not to worry, if you're not into them, you can always "twist and pin them back -- that's cute too!" If you're still afraid to snip, or if you want to see how they'll look on you before you cut, Ess suggests buying clip-on bangs, which are "everywhere now" and even available for curly hair (try hairdo by Jessica Simpson Tru2Life Fiber Clip in Bangs, $44). Ess thinks every woman should have a pair, especially for the times when you're sitting in your bathroom with a pair of scissors and nothing better to do, she jokes.

I know you might find this hard to believe, but there are ladies of color who are part of this community. Every person in this article is white with pretty straight type hair. What about the rest of us? We would like to see ideas about hairstyles, makeup, anything, that includes the variety of women living on this planet. PLEASE!

updating tool is a good idea, newer tool have adjustable heat settings, and probably do have dust clogged in them, but boy do they get expensive. I have "salon grade" blow dryer, it dries fast because it's strong basically one setting and a cool blast button, but it's really bad for your hearing. If you get a blow dry... go for a quiet one, you ears and your family/ housemates will appreciate it much!
